Spore. The game everybody is talking about.

 

 

IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SPORE IS, THEN SHUT DOWN YOUR WII IMMEDIATELY AND GET A PC. NAO.

Oh and get out of this thread :)

 

Seriously, the game is gold and I got this thought last time: it's a living example of why PC is better than any console the world can come up with!

 

This is the point when many of you will go to the quick reply box and type: "Who cares!". I'm fine with that, really. Just one thing: you're wrong.

I think spending money on a console when you can buy a game PC is ridiculous beyond comparison and I want people to understand that.

 

Take Spore. It's like a AK-47, but better: it's brand-new technology and, while it lacks the graphics of, say, Crysis (yet another example of PCawesomness), it's overall effect is utterly unbeatable.

I mean, it's got 5 million of planets you all can visit. Yeah, that's right. 5.0 x 10^6. And that for SEVEN GIG. Immense, really.

 

This, is really too great for any console. First, of course, because of the concept of the game: parts of the game are RTS, which cannot be enforced on a console. And, how will you create creatures without a mouse?

 

 

Poll: PC is better than any console in gaming. (if we count other things, no poll is needed)

 

 

Also, discuss the awesomness of the PC and Spore =D

Don't really get the AK-47 thing since the gun is really, really old, and is only popular because it is cheap and at an acceptable level of quality

 

I've been looking at this game since it's announcement and I'm pretty sure I'll grab it in the near future.

 

As for the poll, I gotta say that I think that the PC is better for strategy games, point and click adventure games, and shooter games if you prefer that style

Otherwise, I'd say consoles ftw

I love how the Wii always gets screwed over when it comes to ports.

 

The only thing that really puts consols ahead of PCs is pricing, you can buy a PS3 or a 360 for 400$ where as buying a computer that can play most high end games puts you in the 2000$+ range.

I'm comparing the data-diskspace relation of Spore to the quality-cost of the AK-47.

 

Plus, in it's time, the AK-47 was the best overall, but not really outstanding in individual aspects, just like Spore.

 

 

I feel good about the responces till now =D

 

I added the Wii thing as a fourth option because I know there are a lot of Wii addicts here.

I played the trial version of the creature creator and it's... eh.

 

It's not really something I could see myself playing a year from now, or for hours on ends or something. A novelty at best. "Oh, look at my planet of unicorns! Now look at my planet of dragons! Check out my 493 planets of every single Pokemon!"
